Melancholia was my 2nd year at Middlesex University project. The film is a combination of 2D character animation (done in TV Paint) and stop motion backgrounds (Dragonframe), made from wool.
The concept is about struggles with depression and feeling trapped by your own feelings, as the character goes into the dark forest, representing her mind, where she battles with herself.
The many faces of AVA is a graduation project by Iza Barszcz at the National Film and Television School - UK.
The film was showcased in 2021.
I did colouring work on the film, between Sep. 2020 - April 2021
No Dogs was a project in collaboration with Flintlock theatre. One of 8 films capturing the struggles of immigrants in the UK from the 1950's to present days. Our main character is Ann Fraser, a an Irish woman sharing her journey as a 17 year old immigrant in London. Animation is stop motion with paper backgrounds and cutouts.
